<p>Adds the possibility to attach emails from a certain IMAP folder to
objects, ie partners. Matching is done via several algorithms, ie email
address, email address’s domain or the original Odoo algorithm.</p>
<p>This gives a simple possibility to archive emails in Odoo without a mail
client integration.</p>

<div class="section" id="configuration">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#toc-entry-1">Configuration</a></h2>
<p>In your fetchmail configuration, you’ll find a new list field
<tt class="docutils literal">Folders to&nbsp; monitor</tt>. Add your folders here in IMAP notation (usually
something like <tt class="docutils literal">INBOX.your_folder_name.your_subfolder_name</tt>), choose a
model to attach mails to and a matching algorithm to use.</p>
<div class="section" id="exact-mailaddress">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#toc-entry-2">Exact mailaddress</a></h3>
<p>Fill in a field to search for the email address in <tt class="docutils literal">Field (model)</tt>.
For partners, this would be <tt class="docutils literal">email</tt>. Also fill in the header field
from the email to look at in <tt class="docutils literal">Field (email)</tt>. If you want to match
incoming mails from your customers, this would be <tt class="docutils literal">from</tt>. You can also
list header fields, so to match partners receiving this email, you might
fill in <tt class="docutils literal">to,cc,bcc</tt>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="domain-of-email-addresses">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#toc-entry-3">Domain of email addresses</a></h3>
<p>Match the domain of the email address(es) found in <tt class="docutils literal">Field (email)</tt>.
This would attach a mail to <tt class="docutils literal">test1&#64;example.com</tt> to a record with
<tt class="docutils literal">Field (model)</tt> set to <tt class="docutils literal">test2&#64;example.com</tt>. Given that this is a
fuzzy match, you probably want to check <tt class="docutils literal">Use 1st match</tt>, because
otherwise nothing happens if multiple possible matches are found.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="odoo-standard">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#toc-entry-4">Odoo standard</a></h3>
<p>This is stricly speaking no matching algorithm, but calls the model’s
standard action on new incoming mail, which is usually creating a new
record.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="usage">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#toc-entry-5">Usage</a></h2>
<p>A widespread configuration is to have a shared mailbox with several
folders, i.e. one where users drop mails they want to attach to
partners. Let this folder be called <tt class="docutils literal">From partners</tt>. Then create a
folder configuration for your server with path <tt class="docutils literal">&quot;INBOX.From partners&quot;</tt>
(note the quotes because of the space, this is server dependent). Choose
model <tt class="docutils literal">Partners</tt>, set <tt class="docutils literal">Field (model)</tt> to <tt class="docutils literal">email</tt> and
<tt class="docutils literal">Field (email)</tt> to <tt class="docutils literal">from</tt>. In <tt class="docutils literal">Domain</tt>, you could fill in
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[('customer',</span> <span class="pre">'=',</span> True)]</tt> to be sure to only match customer records.</p>
<p>Now when your users drop mails into this folder, they will be fetched by
Odoo and attached to the partner in question. After some testing, you
might want to check <tt class="docutils literal">Delete matches</tt> in your folder configuration so
that this folder doesn’t grow indefinitely.</p>
<p>Another way to prevent having to process ever more messages from the
folder to read is to automatically move all processed messages to an
archive folder that can be specified.</p>
